The Kit Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas will be used as a temporary shelter for teenage migrant boys crossing the border alone according to a CNN article from March 15th. In it they say:
“The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center would be temporarily used to shelter teenage boys who arrived at the US-Mexico border alone, the official said.
“The Federal Emergency Management Agency will use a Dallas convention center as a temporary shelter for thousands of migrant teenage boys, an emergency measure the Biden administration is taking to alleviate extreme overcrowding at border facilities in South Texas, according to two Homeland Security officials with knowledge of the plans.
. . .
The Biden administration mobilized FEMA on Saturday to help cope with a deepening crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border, where the number of families and minors arriving without their parents has soared since the president took office.”
This is an effort to improve the temporary holding shelters of young migrants who are currently separated from their families.
